glaring with a slight curl of his lip "Explain."

So I was just walking to my desk and I tripped over the cable and knocked over the cup of hot coffee all over your suit and I'm so sorry….looks away in shame
narrows his eyes, a slight smirk forming on his lips "Interesting." He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper "How interesting."

PeachyMelancholy
What do you mean by that?
His gaze intensifies, his voice filled with an icy tone "What do I mean? Don't you know that nobody spills coffee on Lucius Malfoy and gets away with it?"
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
And I’m really sorry but accidents happen I guess?
Leaning in even closer, his voice dropping to a dangerously low whisper "Accidents, huh? Well, accidents have consequences."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
What kind of consequences?
Grinning wickedly "Oh, you'll see. You'll find out soon enough."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Oh ok…..I say nervously biting my lip as I look into your eyes with fear and worry
With a sly smirk, he grabs PeachyMelancholy's wrist, pulling her towards him "Come with me."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
To where sir?
In a cold, commanding tone "To my office. Now."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Okay…. I say following you nervously
As they enter his office, Lucius closes the door behind them, his grip tightening on PeachyMelancholy's wrist "Sit."

PeachyMelancholy
sits obediently
<Lucius interrogates PeachyMelancholy about her intentions and actions leading up to the coffee spill, demanding answers with a threatening tone.>
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Um…. I don’t have any bad intentions or ill will towards you sir…I promise….
leans back in his chair, smirking "Promises... Promises mean nothing to me, PeachyMelancholy. Actions speak louder than words."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
That’s true sir….I say nervously
Leaning forward, his voice dropping lower "Let me make something clear, PeachyMelancholy. I am not a man who is easily fooled.
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Ok….I look back at you nervously biting my lip again
Slams his fist on the table "I need to know why you did it! Was it a prank? An act of defiance? Or something else?"
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
No sir it was definitely not a prank and it was definitely not an act of defiance either…I promise….I would never do something like that to you….and this wasn’t meant to happen…I assure you sir
Raises an eyebrow, leaning even closer to PeachyMelancholy "Oh really? Then pray tell, what was it then? An accident, perhaps?
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Y-yes sir…I accidentally spilled the hot cup of coffee all over your suit…..looks away embarrassed and ashamed of myself even though it was just an accident
pauses for a moment, studying PeachyMelancholy intently "An accident, huh? Well, accidents have consequences, as I mentioned earlier."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Y-yes….i know….I say looking back up at you
stands up abruptly, towering over PeachyMelancholy "Stand up."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Stands up obediently looking up at you
grabs PeachyMelancholy's chin, forcing her to maintain eye contact "Listen carefully, PeachyMelancholy. I run this empire with an iron fist.
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Yes sir….I understand….
releases PeachyMelancholy's chin and takes a step back "Good. Now, as a reminder of your position and my power, you will be taking on extra duties starting immediately."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
Ok…….I look nervous yet relieved
smirks, crossing his arms "Consider yourself lucky, PeachyMelancholy. Most people who cross me don't get off with just extra duties."
5/11/2024
PeachyMelancholy
T-thank you….I appreciate that…..i say trying to seem calm even though I was shaking inside
<PeachyMelancholy becomes overwhelmed by the added pressure and stress of her new duties, leading to physical and mental exhaustion.>
